Hi! I've read the moddder's guide, but can't find the different steps to create a new kingdom.
I basically knows what to do, but not where :eek:o

I think I have to do the followings :

1/ Add the name of the kingdom (rename the U000 in the worldnames.csv)
2/ Define which counties belong to this Kingdom
3/ Add a CoA (*.bmp file named U000.bmp in the gfx\CoA folder)

I don't know where I can set the step 2 (define which counties belongs to the new kingdom).

Thanks a lot for any help ;)
 
Reading the modding guide is a good first step ;).

Assuming you know what province IDs you need, you go into 1066_scenario_titles and countries and add in country and title definitions. In controlledprovinces, add the IDs of the provinces you want. Add a title definition for U000 and the county tags for each province (i.e. C001 for id 1). Make sure you have removed the controlled provinces from the countries which already have them. You also need to add a line in country.csv.

And i think U000 is bugged.

This may seem hard but once you get used to it its easy.

All I can think of now. Maybe Byakkhim can help some more? (I bet I've spelt it wrong again, haven't I :D)
 
Well, I might have something to add yes. (And you spelled it wrong, again ;) )

If you want to have a new creatable kingdom, similiar to Germany or France and not just a unclaimable kingdom that exist only at startup, similiar to Venice, then you need to do one additional thing. Which is of course, editing province.csv. In modding guide there is one part dedicated to editing csv:s and iirc part decidated to province.csv in particular, so it should help you to find out what exactly you want to edit in there.

Also remember to add a shield for the tag, for example U000.bmp into GFX/CoA folder.
 
I find it easier to use a unused non-reacreatable tag than the Uxxx tags.
Then you don't need to add CoAs and other stuff until the setup actually works.
 
Well I think yu could actually play without a coa, that is if you don't mind having a translucent shield. You could also just copy another one and rename it to the relevant tag (U000 in this case, which I don't see as bugged by the way, I created Lotharinigia under it last night).

How do you make shields for new kingdoms? I`m was thinking about creating a bunch of claimable Kingdoms like Northumbria, Aquitaine and Austria. Is it possible to make them convert to the right kingdom in EU2? (f.i. CK- Bavaria to EU2 Bavaria.)
 
Full wish list: Aqitaine, Austria, Bavaria, Brandenburg, Finland, Granada, Greece, Holland, Lorraine, Northumbria, Novgorord, Saxony, Siebenburgen, Smolensk and Vladimir (the kingdom of Rus will be smaller, and sentered around Kiev and Muscowy).

I`ve never modded CK before, so I`m not sure if I`ll be able too. Tried EU2 a couple of times, didn`t work out.

Well, first of all, you need tags, as has been said before. I make the rest of guidelines assuming that you will be using user tags. (U000 - U019)

When you have assigned good tags to each kingdom you are creating, get them shields. Creating a shield from scratch is a harder process and requires some skill with graphics program and is rather much work to just try things out. I would suggest recycling appropriate duchy / county shields from the area. Like duchy of Österreich -> kingdom of Austria, duchy of Finland -> kingdom of Finland, etc. If you want to do shields from scratch, I suggest you look into Graphics subforum, you can find help there.

After you have shields, you need to add a line for each used tag into country.csv in your DB folder. Open the file with text editor and look into it. The file is pretty easy to understand just by looking at it.

Then the real work, make these new kingdoms claimable. This is done by replacing the original kingdom tag with your modded tag to correct provinces in province.csv, again found in DB folder.

You are now almost finished, just slight cosmetic editing, naming the kingdoms in world_names.csv, found in Config folder. Each user tag has it's spot already, you just replace User Defined there with something like Austria or Finland.

Then you may proceed to add them into scenarios if you like, but it's not necessary, if you want to leave them only as claimable thingsies.
 
Thanks a lot for your help! You have probably answered the same questions umpty times before, it`s just that I like beung on the safe side and not doing anything overly stupid. I`ll give it a shot then. If I run into problems I`ll probably come back whining;)

One other question though: Where has the map with province numbers that was somewhere on this forum gone?

Daywalker might have taken it off, though the map thread was never stickied, so I bet you just need to dig around from older threads to find it.

I myself saved it on HD for personal use long time ago, as it's so useful. :)
